March 16th is a Tuesday.

Thanks man...Can you make it?

Let me check with my social director. I should be in.

Cool let me know I will most likely be at CC this weekend too...

Proposed route: south on PCH to Laguna north on the 133 to the 405/5 south on 405/5 exit El Toro east on El Toro (Santiago Canyon passing Irvine Lake) ending up at Katella south on 55 to 22 west to 57 north exit Chapman lunch at Hooters in Anaheim

Is there an address or some major landmark for Crystal Cove? I drove up and down PCH today around that area getting some more break in miles and missed finding Crystal Cove.

Oh man you can't miss it... It is like the map says between Corona Del Mar and Laguna Coming north to south it will be on the inland side (left). It is the only stip mall between the two. It is just passed New Port Coast Drive. You need to get there around 7am though.

I'll be there. I'm going to try and join that West LA caravan down, so hopefully I'll just be a follower and not have to try and find the place myself. 6 years of nav unit use has stunted what little native ability I had - I took another drive today and couldn't find the place. I must be an idiot - repeat the mantra regarding 6 years of constant nav CD use.

16? it says 13

I've been wanting to come out with you guys for a while now but I can't seem to convince anyone (esp. my g/f) to drive me. If anyone would like to have some company let me know. I live in Corona Del Mar which isn't far from the Crystal Cove plaza. Everyone on this forum seems to be much more civilized and mature than the BMW crowd (won't mention any names *cough* bimmerforums.com *cough*). This is my first but definately not my last post! I plan to get a C2 of some kind (carrera or GT3) in the near future but I need to keep reading up on this forum before I decide on what specs to look for! Cheers -Nima

It used to say 16 before he edited it. Thank you.

Bump.... 3 more days!!! 50+ Cars RSVP'ed!

What happens/where do you park if you get there after 7:00am?? Mike

i suggest u to join the WestLA group. little early but sure fun riding together than alone

Guys we are estimating 75+ Porsches (mostly 996 Model) attending . Although we will have a good mix of other cars. I let the OC PCA know about the event so we could have even more cars then we actually anticipate... If you are thinking about going you won't want to miss this event!

What's the easiest route to get to CC off the 405? I'll be coming down south on 405 from Torrance. Don't want to join the WLA group, cuz i'll have to drive north to WLA, then turn around and go south. As is, I won't make it there before 0700. Willl there be parking nearby since it sounds like the parking lot gets full and closes a little after 0700? thanks mike

We are going to be taking up one of the parking areas with Porsches. There is lots of room for aditional parking as it is a large area. I would take the 405 to the 133 down to PCH then head north right outside Laguna is Crystal cove on your right.

BTW what year is your car? Cab or Coupe? I will add you to our list

Thanks for adding me to the list. My car's a 1986 911 coupe......hope it's welcome amongst all the 996/TT's I'm mainly on the 911 board and Pelican. I was able to meet a couple of you guys at Pacific Porsche last month, after the PV drive. Nice group of guys/gals, not to mention some outrageous rides!!! Thanks. See ya Saturday Mike

mike, guess we'll see u there... really want u to join us in WLA though

I received my Bumperettes from Eric today... I am getting VERY excited about the meet!!!

If anyone who is coming to this has PCM on their car, specifically with a PCM CD for version 3.0 or higher AND can see under Destination Input -> POI -> Service -> Porsche or Porsche Dealers, I'd love to borrow the disc for a minute to check it on my car/PCM.
